MESSAGE FROM CMD
Elecon Engineering Company Limited was established in the year 1951. Since then Elecon has waded through a sea of ‘Changes; naturally, as today it is 57 years old company. (In earlier days it was know as The Milling Trading Company).
Hardly a few know that Elecon had the third and final attempt to start a Material Handling Company after World War II, as the first two attempts by other companies failed & they went into bankruptcy. Elecon, which stands for ELEvators & CONveyors was originally a partnership company between the Shahs of Konel Corporation (a conveyor company which wound up) & the Patels of Milling Trading Co. Elecon started with packaging tiny conveyors for pharmaceuticals companies to the present times of 20,000 tonnes per hour conveyors which are among the largest capacity conveyors in the world at Neyveli Lignite Corpora-tion.
Similarly, our first computer installed at Elecon had a large memory capacity for those days of 128KB to absorb our entire accounts, while today’s mobile phones have five to seven times more memory.
It is also amazing that the land area that Shri. Bhanubhai had reserved for expansion and new developments of the future, seemed infinitely large then. But now all of them have been consumed in just three years of recent expansion. For our future expansions apart from buying land in the vicinity, we are on the verge of buying 100 acres of land near Savli, Vadodara also.
Elecon group started with a turnover of a few thousand rupees ‘Then’ which has reached ‘Now’, almost fifteen hundred crores & I would like to see
it touch five thousand crores within the next ten years if not earlier.
There are lots of facts & figures of these kinds which amaze us when we compare our yesteryears.
As we grow larger, the organization structures will go through drastic changes with changes in managerial responsibilities for almost all of us. Recently, our new projects like the windmill gear box unit, windmill unit, Madhubhan Resort & Spa, are progressing very rapidly with an over all outlay of 200 crores. There are more projects envisaged but would be started once these have completed and have started rolling. These will be the projects of tomorrow for the coming generations, to take over the baton & continue a legacy that started six decades ago.
All the happiness for Dashera & Diwali celebration from myself & my family.

Sea of Changes
MESSAGE FROM CEO
The year 2007-2008 for EMTICI group of companies has seen one of the fastest growth in its history of the days since ‘THEN’, when its branches around the country operated with their own independent systems in place and practically very little input from the head office.
But ‘NOW’, a click of a mouse gives you a single window into the operations of the 15 branches EMTICI has all over India. The branches are now well connected and on the same page, at the same time from anywhere in India with the head office. Planning various works for routine coordination mainly of sales and marketing, site operations and collections.
With centralised policies and procedures, the growth ‘NOW’ is easily manageable and more efficiently with today’s technology, than the ‘THEN‘ methodology.
With CRC, our ‘Centralised Resource Cell’ in place, three years after the inception, comes a time to accept gracefully this as a very big Change in our group. CRC was a vision I had and with vision one needs action to identify the targets and the goals to be achieved with a follow thru, despite all the hurdles and challenges ahead. Most big Changes have to be made with ‘ideas’ and ‘guts’ to be carried over very fast and thru many challenging times.
When an important change is made by the top management, the visionary, also needs complimentary skills from members of its staff, the real tactical doers, of these Changes. They have to be the Change makers, as Change is eternal
That change is ‘NOW’, not ‘THEN’, not ‘WHEN’.
Best wishes for Dashera and Diwali celebrations

Taruna PatelCEO - EMTICI Engineering Ltd.
Change is ‘NOW’
On every Dashera day, we connect directly through this channel. This is also a family get-together day for all of us as it is being celebrated by us as “Elecon Day”.
This century has been very eventful for Elecon family. We have gone from contraction mode to exponential growth. We have an all time high order booking position for MHE Division. Gear Division is keeping ahead of the competition by venturing into new areas and establishing Brand ‘ELECON’ in a big way. Eimco-Elecon, Power Build and Prayas Engineering, all broke the century mark.
We have our hands full of orders; our shops are busy throughout 24 x 7. The key to success now is how better we execute it. The focus shall now be on most valuable asset of the Company i.e. Human Capital. To meet the challenges we have started focusing on new HR policies and practices. We shall be arming our HR with World Class systems and procedures and a continued focus on training.
To serve our customers better, we have implemented Customer Relationship Management System, which shall be a vital marketing tool for us for the years to come. Training on Value Based Marketing Techniques will bring out the value proposition for our customers and create a win-win situation in all. Just as in last few years, our diversification drive is on. We shall be focusing on the consolidation of our existing business and this process shall never lose our focus.
As a corporate organization, we reinstate our commitment to the social responsibility by providing better working environment for our employees and all stakeholders alike. In short, we shall be consolidating our position for a brighter future for all of us.
As we start our countdown for the Diwali festival, we must start thinking on the challenges facing us and concentrate on the growth path we have envisaged.
On this Dashera day, I extend my best wishes to you and your family for the coming festival season

MESSAGE FROM DIRECTOR
“Keeping up the Growth….. …. With better Execution”
I am delighted to mention that the strategic direction taken by us over the past few years is bearing fruits across all our business segments. We intend to continue on our chosen path; since we have achieved this good performance despite the persistently fierce competition, decreasing industrial growth rate, uncertainty on financial markets, high oil price and so on. Over the past 5 decades, we have become diversified, financially strong and uniquely structured manufacturing and project development group.
Position of Financial Growth We have maintained consistent improvement in financial performance and emerged with a strong balance sheet since past few years. Our company has posted momentous performance, its turnover jumping from Rs. 1608 mn in FY 2003-2004 to Rs.8264 mn in FY 2007-2008 registering CAGR of 51 % with the base year
2003-2004. Net profit margin of the company has increased from 1.35% in FY 2003-2004 to 8.13% for FY 2007-2008. Financially, our company has performed admirably, with 5 consecutive years of increased annual dividends to its shareholders from FY 2003-2004. Earnings per share for the company have increased from Rs.1.28 mn for FY 2003-2004 to Rs.7.24 mn for FY 2007-2008. We have demonstrated a growth of Shareholders’ Equity from Rs. 569 mn for FY 2003-2004 to Rs. 2367 mn for FY 2007-2008 registering CAGR of 43%. As a group, we have seen the ups and also the downs. At this juncture and with the strategic direction that we have taken, we are sure to move further up.
Status quo shall however not help us succeed. New products, new markets, new customers must be sought to enable the Company to prosper. We are investing Rs. 2350 mn in
form of capital expenditure in span of two years towards building additional facility for manufacturing of windmill gearboxes, Wind Mills as well as towards up gradation of existing facilities in MHE & Gear divisions, which will provide an additional stream of revenue for the group. My wife joins with me to wish all of you and your family members best wishes for coming festivals
I am very fortunate to have been associated with ELECON right from the days it started its operations in Gujarat in 1962. I am a part of the Elecon family from the days we manufactured only ELEvators and CONveyors. These were of very low capacity and almost all the operations were manual, even material lifting was done without Cranes.
As a logical line extension in the late 60’s we moved on to manufacturing of gearboxes, wagon tipplers & small crushers and we have not looked back since then. In 70’s we began our long standing relationship with Neyveli
Lignite Corporation and joined the consortium with two German companies. This gave us an opportunity to train young blood and enhance our quality to match the best in the world.
Since then we have grown… and grown in terms of resources available at our disposal, number of orders handled, information handled and processed. Today we have earned recognition globally as well as in India, true to its spirit and context with our motto “Always a Step Ahead in Technology”, always ready to meet fu-ture challenges

Financial Growth
Then & Now
From the days of Industrial Revolution or even before there in continuous growth in Technology, pace can be varied but same is the need to counter the decay which is natural phenomenon. Growth of business compliments that of technology, as well various facets of the development. Indian economy and Industry has started it’s march in this direction long back, but took more time for well ripe fruits. The Indian engineering Industry has its roots in last century, but was moving with very low pace till decade of 80. But from time till today there is faster growth and today picture is fully favorable.
Let it be material handling equipments or transmission, Elecon has remained always a step ahead and is in pioneer in many firsts in our country. Let that be a Hardened and ground gears or big earth moving machines like Stacker or Wagon
tippler or Crusher, Elecon has always pursued the state of art technology. Elecon is again first in manufacturing Planetary gears as well Marine gears for warship and always added feather in Indian Cap by manufacturing latest solution in each sector of engineering and trade, which was possible only because of the growth of technology and pursuing the best choice. In Gear Technology the higher peripheral speed, lesser noise and highest efficiency is feasible only due to accurate Gear Finishing (Grinding) machines and latest Heat-treatment facilities to achieve adequate Case depth and hardness, as well accurate and consistent gear casing made by CNC machines.
It is same case with Huge material handling machines which are possible to produce because modern welding
facilities including Robot and lazar/plas-ma cutting machines as well big CNC machining centres. Technological growth is possible because pursuing new Jobs and those feasible because of growth of technology, this way they are complimentary to each other and that is why we are leaping every year at least by 25%

Growth of Technology:
My ExperiencesThen & Now
I thought it appropriate to share my past experiences of working with large engineering companies with diversified product range and manufacturing operations at multiple locations. As the organizations grow in size, there will be more number of people handling the similar functions at different locations. Thus in order to help people arrive at decisions in line with management expectations without consulting all the persons working for similar functions posted at various locations a set of guidelines are put in place for all the common functional areas. These guidelines are sometimes called as manuals. Thus we used to have accounting and HR manuals to help us in decision making in the respective areas. These organizations used to have focused attention on grooming of tal-ent to meet the future needs of various functions of different businesses. The above activities were carried through systematic approaches to identify talent at various locations by a common pro-gram on a continuous basis and provid-
ing these people opportunities through job rotation and various specific management development and functional training program.
The various tools available for communication with employees were utilized in the transparent manner to canalize the resources towards achieving the objectives of the organization. The work culture of adhering to all the statutory and legal compliances was practiced to ensure smooth operations at all levels of functional areas.
Despite all these tools, the decision making process was most frustrating. Sometimes the decisions related to new business opportunity used to take so long that the said opportunity did not exist when the go ahead to the proposal is made available to operating personnel. The best part was that most of the decisions were initiated by middle management levels and owned / disowned by senior
management levels depending on the level of success of the respective businesses emerging out of this decision.
We are confident that the forthcoming Diwali festival will bring lot of prosperity to all of you. Let me, along with my family, take this opportunity to extend our good wishes for the forth-coming festival season

Although “Elecon” was established in the year 1951, I got an opportunity to be associated with this company only in the year 1976. I wish I would have joined them earlier.
Elecon has always believed in upgrading itself every now and then. During this time there has been noticeable changes those have been very effectively channelised through. I have witnessed old style drawing boards changed to very modern work stations, conventional automates replaced by very modern CNC machines, and traditional offices changed to very modern world class offices, clearly indicating “ELECON” is always, A step Ahead in Technology.
Environment, right through out the Elecon group has been made conducive enough to match “Process Voice” with the “Customer voice”. Training sessions have already taken place at all levels in terms of developing people with burning desire for accomplishments.
Every individual at “Elecon” accepts the fact that Challenges always come bundled with opportunities.
On this day of Dashera, my family joins me, conveying all the very best of luck to Elecon family members and wish that the forth coming festival of Dipavali, associated with light may bring all of us the foresight to visualize the opportunities hidden behind the
challenges. With the up gradation of facilities, improvements in quality levels, reliable products and people bubbling with positive approach, Elecon over the years has already become a Global Player
Personally I have experienced many great changes in the Banking System of the Elecon Group of Companies over the years. But a few of the changes have benefited us maximum, saving a lengthy paper procedure, time and money. Emtici Engeeneering with fifteen branches all over India and handling maximum collections from customers from these regions to be directed to the HO has benefited a lot with the NOW operation.
THEN…. the payment cheques were collected from the customers and deposited in a branch located nearest to their regions and then that payments transferred by
TT to Head Office. Also Statutory payments to the government and salaries across the branches were made by checks to the employees. Those were the days that manual accounting gave room for errors and more delays.
And NOW…we have core banking system which gives HO instant credit of all the monies deposited in any part of the country and with some customers the amount is directly transferred from their account to ours by EFT. All government payments and salaries are also made using online facilities . Our biggest leap was using Oracle system and making accounting operation totally computerized and accessible from
anywhere in the country. Few more changes are on anvil with the help of CRC (Centralised Resource Cell). Our uniform code of procedures for finance and book keeping will be regulated in the entire group of companies

ANAND DHAM
Anand Dham is a place where 20 elderly grandmas and grandpas are housed for various reasons. For these very elders were the ones who nurtured their children, sacrificing their last morsels to satisfy their children’s needs – be it food, shelter, clothing schooling or health. And now their very own kith & kin have detached themselves from their duties without a blink.
Today there are many old people’s homes cropping up everywhere to make room for these same parents, sometimes sick, sometimes a hindrance in their children’s daily life, sometimes a financial burden or just extra baggage in everything to their grown up children. And they are a very lonely lot.
These special moms and dads of yesteryears look forward to a day when someone visits them, calls them, feeds them or pampers them even for a few moments – and the smiles that are left behind are their monthly dose of happiness.
So, it is the parents of today who need to revive our ‘Sanskar’ that teaches us that parents are next to God. Where you begin early to teach your children to treat parents with respect. Treat them how you would want to be treated at an old age. Teach your children to respect their grand parents and all elders. They are our culture and shoulders to lean on for years to come.
We as family, make it a rule to visit a few of these places - every time there is a Birthday or an Anniversary in the family - where a deed like this brings happiness into many empty lives. Recently my children visited Anand Dham & as a parent I was overwhelmed at their genuine feelings & time given to their aged friends.
This year’s memories are captured on these photos & they say it all, especially when a grandma saw her grand daughter in my daughters Aishwarya and Akanksha. Special hugs and kisses were shared leaving Anand Dham with content for them & smiles for everyone.
This year, I am also inviting all wives & ladies of Employees of Elecon Group of companies to form a group which will be called Elecon Ladies Forum (ELF). The main activities of this group would be to have a Motto “A Good Deed A Day Is Here To Stay”and fulfill it completely.
The ELF forum will have fun while performing these good deeds, even if it is just giving a hand to an elderly to cross the road or taking needy children for a picnic once a month. The smiles of these memories will stay with them for years to come. Many other fun activities can be added as you grow with number of members at ELF.
Please call El Care office for enrolling yourself as a member at ELF.
Mr. J.C. Patel (Vice President, Contracts) suggested & asked me to create an activity for ladies recently. So I thought of forming a forum for all these ladies and invite Mrs. J.C. Patel to be the first leader member of ELF. Please try your best and I will encourage & motivate the ELF members in all their activities.Yes, “A Good Deed A Day Is Here To Stay”

HAPPENINGS Surila Anubhav- Serena Bhatt
Aishwarya showed a natural inclination towards learning the ‘SUNDARKAND’. It was a surprise to see how well she sang each word with clarity especially the beginning shlok in sanskrit which many people find difficult and that was where the thought of recording the ‘SUNDARKAND’ came into mind. Aishwarya practiced for nearly one and half months of summer vacation and these efforts of hers and her guru Shri Arvind Bhatt can be clearly seen through this piece of work. The ‘Sundarkand’ needs no introduction anywhere, at least in India where it has assumed multifarious roles, each commanding immense respect for millennia. In the Ramcharitmanas, the struggle of Lord Sri Ram & Mata Sita comes to an end in the fifth sopan, ‘Sundarkand’. Impossible tasks like the search of Mata Sita and building the ‘Ramsetu’ (bridge) across the sea
‘Kalaguru’ Shri Arvind Bhatt, Aishwarya Patel and Serena Bhatt
“Sundarkand” & “Mera Surila Anubhav” by Aishwarya Patel

were accomplished by Sri Hanumanji who is indeed the ‘Nayak’ of the Sundarkand. By reciting the Sundarkand, one experiences physical, mental and spiritual stability as well as ‘peace’. Every chopai and doha of the Sundarkand is a mantra which brings to an end, all miseries and sorrows. By the grace of ‘Lord Sri Ram Bhadra’ and the joint efforts of Tarunaben & Prayasvinbhai Patel, the recording of Goswami Tulsidasji rachit ‘Sri Ram Charit Manas’ fifth sopan, ‘Sundarkand’ has been made possible. It is touching to see that this ‘Sundarkand’ is a tribute by the grand-daughter Aishwarya to her grand-parents, Shri Bhanubhai and Smt. Madhuben. The recitation of the complete ‘Sundarkand’ with such clear pronunciation by Aishwarya Patel, who is just eleven years old, is worth appreciation. Hope Aishwarya continues to carry on such beautiful works in future as well. The music is composed and arranged by her ‘Kalaguru’ Shri Arvind Bhatt. He is a versatile musician, a very good singer, an exponent of many instruments as well as a very creative composer and writer. These efforts of Aishwarya are truly inspiring for other children living in this modern era. Shri Arvind Bhatt is well versed in all the fields of music including Indian dance and literature. He is a student of Pt.Shri Laxminarayan Bhatt and ‘Nritya Samrat’ Pt. Shri Birju Maharajji. As a child, he has given many programmes on ‘Ramayan’ in Delhi in front of many eminent personalities, few of them being Late Prime Minister Mrs. Indira Gandhi, Former President of India Shri Sanjeeva Reddy, Former Vice President Shri Bhairon Singh Shekhawat

Our first order was received from Korba Thermal Power Station in the early sixties for supply of 3 conveyors (Capacity 1000 TPH) for Coal Handling Plant. Out of the above one Conveyor was with a length of 1600 mtrs. That was the biggest Conveyor in India during that time. Consecutively we received an order from Satpura Thermal Power Station for complete Coal Handling Plant. This also included Bunker Conveyors. This was the first Turnkey Project executed by us. During the said period, Elecon used to employ Design Engineers from Europe, This exposure provided unique opportunity for our young engineers to receive professional training. An order from Indian Coal Mines for supply of Conveyors with a total length of more than 10 kms was again a major achievement. We started manufacturing Stacker-Reclaimer, Barrel Reclaimer, Scrappers & Wagon Tipplers during 1965-1970 and it has been a steady growth since then.

News & Events
With increasing price of fossil fuels across the globe, harnessing of renewable energy resources has assumed significance like never before.
Recent research has shown that carbon pollution contributes to global warming at a level that is about 60% of carbon dioxide’s warming effect, making black carbon the second-biggest contributor to global warming after carbon dioxide.
The advantages of using wind energy
cannot be ignored. As more cost effective techniques are developed, more investors are likely to buy into wind farm projects. It is possible that within a few decades we will be seeing windmills being built all over the country. In short, it will help alleviate the energy crisis,will benefit the environment and bring a boost to the economy.
The current dependency on Renewable Sources needs to be shifted to the more cleaner, more affordable

A FEW WHO MADE A DIFFERENCE
A new addition to El Waves pages this year is a few faces that made a difference “THEN” in the growth of Elecon Group of companies and even “NOW” which is Today. Some are still running the marathon race to reach new heights never explored before. Mr. AJ Patel (President, MHE) is one of these marathon runners with almost 45 years with Elecon & even today he works with a passion of a new recruit. A long service time of 45 years with this esteemed organization has enriched my knowledge to such a extent that it is impossible to remain away from the attachment.
Yes, he is the ever-young man with the same unflagging zeal, dedication and enthusiasm who has completed 35 years with us -- Mr.Nanda.
A strong Contender
A Special Recognition
Always on the Run……Mr. K G Kutty
“Just Do it” ....... that’s Mr. M M Nanda
Shri Bhanubhai always remembered him as an eager young man fresh from the college who joined Elecon at Delhi office. His motto then was “Just Do It” and the same motto and zeal remains till today. Mr. Nanda as GGM, continues to repose confidence and a source of inspiration in the work that comes his way and passes his exuberance to all working around him. From a Junior Assistant to Group General Manager, the journey has been a saga of accomplishments. From mastering the fine art of liaison with various government agencies in the sev-enties and eighties to marketing in the nineties and subsequently zonal in charge, he has done it all with a high sense of responsibility and in the best traditions of our Company. We are very proud to have him with us. On the occasion of his successful completion of 35 years, we would like to extend our heartiest congratulations and best wishes to Mr. Nanda and his family and look forward to many more successful years ahead.
We at Elecon Group of Companies take this opportunity to give a special recognition to Mr. K G Kutty for being with Elecon for 39 years; before retiring at the beginning of this year. He spent a considerable span of time doing a thankless job; at times as the expectations of his abilities rose with his rise in position & workload piled on sky high. But work he did is with a passion and dedication to always overcoming the hurdles and completing assigned work. We wish him happy retirement back home in Kerala
As I Reflect… Mr. K G Kutty Thirty nine years of my lifetime spent with a single organization is a lifetime achievement in itself. An organization called Elecon Engineering Ltd gave me that opportunity and I have many golden memories to remain with me for the duration of my
Mr. M.M.Nanda with Shri B.I.Patel
“From a raw Mechanical Engineer beginning the career as a Junior Engineer in the shop floor and molding to the skill that an engineer should acquire by working at the shop, Later on utilizing the shop floor knowledge to the site activities for installation of the equipments and finally managing all the technical affairs of Elecon’s MHE Division, I am going to dream day & night the Elecon even after retirement.Having spent almost 2/3rd of my life, it is Elecon and only Elecon for me even now and till I live.”
- Mr. AJ Patel (President, MHE)

A few runners...The Principles of die-hard dedication & untiring work for betterment at Elecon, left for us by our then CMD Shri. Bhanubhai Patel, as a Legacy, here are a few runners still moving tons in the Elecon group almost for 35 years long past their retirement.
We take this opportunity to congratulate each one for their commitments & their tenure with our group of companies.
retirement life back home. I joined Elecon Engineering Co. Ltd. In 1969 and retired in 2008. During those 39 years I had the opportunity to grow with the then doyens of the company from being an executive secretary to taking charge independently as a general administrator of MHE and GEAR division, in appreciation of my skills and potential developed over the years. I had the privilege to work with Shri Bhanubhai our CMD then to Shri Praysvinbhai our CMD now, an opportunity envied by many. I also had full interaction with Mrs Tarunaben CEO Emtici Engineering when she involved me in the startup of central resource cell (CRC)
My sincere wishes to Elecon Group of companies a success to meet all the future challenges.
Happy Dashera and Dipavali wishes conveyed to all.

The Story So Far:Charutar Arogya Mandal, a trust set up by the late Dr.HM Patel, India’s former Minister of Finance and Home and one of the first Indian ICS officers in our country, manages the 550-bed rural Shree Krishna Hospital, a teaching hospital attached to Pramukhswami Medical College. The College, in existence for a couple of decades, runs Medical Council recognized undergraduate and postgraduate

Shree Krishna Hospital marches towards its goal to provide comprehensive health care to the community with its new Bhanubhai & Madhuben Patel Cardiac Centre

courses. Shree Krishna Hospital’s motto, “Solace for the Suffering”, encapsulates the philosophy of the hospital; to provide state-of-the-art medical care at affordable rates to the community, especially those in the villages around the hospital. In keeping with this philosophy, the hospital has made rapid strides in upgrading its facilities and services. Today, the hospital has emerged as one of Gujarat’s most-equipped and largest hospitals. It has the region’s best Trauma Centre, 16 operation theatres, ICUs for medical, surgical, neo-natal and paediatric cases, Labs which have received NABL accreditation, a radiology set up which has all imaging solutions, including CT Scan and MRI, in its repertoire and several other facilities. The hospital also runs several extension centres in the smaller towns of the district, with the objective of making available qualified medical services closer to the
doorsteps of the community. Of the five extension centres so far being operated, which collectively have a daily out-patient strength of about 175-200 patients, one is already linked to the hospital through a tele-medicine facility and, as a result, started maternity services as well. The hospital on its own has out-door patient strength of over 250,000 and indoor admissions of over 22,000 annually. The hospital provides free or subsidized medical services of about Rs.1.50 crores annually. The Charutar Arogya Mandal, since its inception, has introduced various schemes for the underprivileged section of the society, which includes special groups like senior citizens, women and children and the population living below poverty line (BPL). Some of the features as well as quantitative benefits offered to these groups are as follows: Consultation with all the specialties at a token amount of Re 1/- for BPL persons, women, children and senior citizens. All the diagnostic and pharma-
cy facilities at a discounted rate of 25% and 10% respectively. Inpatient services to these groups in general ward are provided absolutely free except medicines, which is provided at concessional rate.

BHANUBHAI AND MADHUBEN PATEL CARDIAC CENTRE - Beginning of a new era
Exterior view of cardiac centre Interior view of cardiac centre
The Cardiac Centre under construction
39
The only major facility that was lacking in this otherwise state-of-the-art hospital was a Cardiac Centre. The need for the facility was further accentuated by the fact that there is no such facility in the near vicinity; a cardiac patient has to go to Vadodara or Nadiad/Ahmedabad, 40 kms and 75 kms respectively, to get treated.
The hospital, with its upcoming Bhanubhai and Madhuben Patel Cardiac Centre, would be able to fill this important gap. The Centre is coming up as a separate building, though connected to the main hospital building through overhead bridges, covering a total built-up area of 45,000 sq. ft. Being set up at an
investment of over Rs.1500 lakhs, contributed entirely by the Elecon Group of Companies, it would have facilities for outdoor consultation, diagnostics, two operation theatres with a provision for an additional theatre in the future, an 8-bed CICU and a step-down ICU, a cath-lab with a provision for an additional lab in the future and provision also for a CT-Scan. This facility also will make available specialist services at affordable rates to the needy.
Cardiac diseases account for the highest number of deaths world-wide and are a cause of considerable loss of productive life and working hours. Cardiac diseases have no longer remained restricted to the rich. The disease, especially congenital heart diseases, is seen among the population in the lower income strata more often. Besides, Indian population have greater genetic predisposition to cardiac diseases. India is expected to have mortality attributable to cardiac diseases in the region of 2 million by the year 2010 and has an earlier onset of the disease (by 10 years) compared to the rest of the world. While in the West, the mortality among those less
than 70 years old due to cardiac diseases is 23%, it is 52% in India, signifying the need to both diagnose and treat the disease early.
In Anand and Kheda districts, the home of Charutar Arogya Mandal, the incidence of cardiac diseases has been estimated to be 25.17 per thousand person in a 5-year longitudinal study carried out by the faculty of Pramukhswami Medical College. The average annual mortality was estimated to be 2.46 (national average 2.27) per thousand persons in the study.
Shree Krishna Hospital receives at 750-900 patients each year who require cardiac interventional facilities. These patients have to be referred to other centres located in cities like Vadodara and Ahmedabad, resulting in not only loss of precious time, but also a great deal of inconvenience to patients and their families. Indeed, the lack of facilities at the hospital leads to some of the existing patients opting not to take further treatment, while many other patients are lost to follow-up. The new Cardiac Centre, which has already tied up with Dr.KM Cherian, who pioneered bypass surgeries in India and currently heads the Frontier Lifeline Hospital at Chennai, would prove to be a great boon the all the patients suffering from heart disease. They can now hope to look forward to quality care at the most affordable cost.
This is the new feature that will grace some of the pages of 2008 edition of our El waves magazine .
Lens View will provide a window for participants who have an opportunity to express ART thru the lens of their cameras and explore their creativities to cover the oth-er angles of photography as a hobby. So we invite you to use your hands and imagination to come up with your best collection for a place in this magazine and may be discovered or branded as a photographer of tomorrow
This year we begin with Prayasvinbhai’s personal
best collection of the recent times. Our CMD has had a pas-sion for photography and cameras from a very young age and it has continued over the years from black and white cameras of THEN to the latest digital technologies of today and NOW. His knowledge in collection of cameras, lens, ac-cessories & softwares and photography magazines is not only a passion but an addiction at times. It is a passion with the relaxing and calming effect fit for a busy entrepreneur and this legacy he has passed on to his elder daughter Akanksha, as his father had initiated him into this wonderful lifetime hobby with zeal.

Lincoln’s Letter to his Son’s Headmaster “ He will have to learn, I know, that all men
are not true. But teach him also that for every
scoundrel, there is a hero, that for every selfish
politician, there is a dedicated leader .. Teach him
that for every enemy, there is friend. It will take
time, i know, but teach him, if you can, that a
dollar earned is of far more value than five found
.... Steer him away from envy. If you can, teach
him, the secret of quiet laughter.
Let him learn early that the bullies are the
easiest to lick .. Teach him, if you can, the wonder
of books ... But also give him quiet time to
ponder the eternal mystery of birds in the sky,
bees in the sun and flowers on a hill-side.Teach
him to learn to lose and also to enjoy winning,
In school, teach him it is far more honourable to
fail than to cheat .... Teach him to be gentle with
gentle people and tough with the tough.
Try to give my son the strength not to follow the crowd when everyone is getting on the
bandwagon.....
Teach him to listen to all men ... but teach him also to filter all he hears on a screen of truth
and take only the good that come through.
Teach him, if you can, how to laugh when he is sad .... Teach him there is no shame in tears.
Teach him to scoff at cynics and to beware of too much sweetness ...
Teach him to sell his brain and brawn to the highest bidders, but never to put a price tag on
his heart and soul.
Teach him to close his ears to a howling mob ... and to stand and fight if thinks he is right.
Teach him gently, but do not cuddle him, because only the test of fire makes fine steel. Let
him have the courage to be impatient .... let him have the patience to be brave.
Teach him always to have sublime faith in himself, because then he will always have a
sublime faith in mankind.”
